Thanks to Big Bad Toy Store, we can now share two new images of the upcoming Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Predaking figure which includes a first-look at the toys robot form.  The images, which can be viewed below, confirm that the toy is also a homage to the Transformers Cybertron Scourge figure, or as he was known in Japan?Transformers Galaxy Force Flame Convoy?

The robot mode has a head sculpt which fits in very well with the recent Transformers Prime designs, though for a voyager class figure, he almost looks as if he has been scaled down.  The final version of the toy we expect to see paint-application changes, especially on the silver dragon heads, though Hasbro have designed to figure to not require that many paint applications to help keep down the cost.
